New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on Wednesday (25 September) on the permission of 17 disqualified MLAs to contest elections in Karnataka. The court has sent notices to Karnataka assembly speaker, JDS and Congress presidents. Former Speaker Ramesh Kumar rejected the resignation of the MLAs and disqualified them for the entire term of the assembly.

After this, rebel MLAs have also demanded to reject the assembly by-election to be held on October 21. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the rebel MLAs, made this demand in the court. At the same time, Kapil Sibal, who appeared on behalf of Karnataka Congress, protested against the rebel MLAs' demand for an interim stay on the by-election. The rebel legislators demand that the Election Commission notification be scrapped, as their disqualification case is still under consideration in the Supreme Court.

Let us tell you that the rebel MLAs have challenged the decision of the speaker, in which the speaker disqualified these MLAs under the change of party law. In fact, after the resignation of 17 MLAs of Congress and JDS in Karnataka in the month of July, the Kumaraswamy government of the state fell after running only 14 months. Kumaraswamy had failed to prove his majority during the trust vote. Due to which he had to lose his power.
